DON'T NEGLECT KIDNEYS. Swamp-Root, Dr. Kllmer’a Preacrip- ’ tion, Overcomes Kidney Trouble, c It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attcntlpri as they control the other or- ’ gans to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in ro- . moving the poisons and waste matI ter from the system by filtering the t, blood. The kidneys should receive some . assistance when needed. Wo take less exercise, drink less water and , often eat more rich. heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame 1 . back, annoying bladder troubles, 3 smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumai tism, maybe weak or irregular heart t action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. - An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kllt mer’s Swamp-Root.

We want to| tell you in this letter that we are euro of that fact. There la money that is Seeking that kind of an investment, although we have found out that those investors are going to be careful and discriminating ones. However. no mutter how careful and uffierimlnating th y may be, a far us regards the farms themselves, wo are all proud to say tbat these lands in Adams county will please the most fastidious taste. To any one who will get into a machine and tour this county, make careful observations, It will prove a revelation to them.

The highways in their excellence have changed that. The Bowers Realty Company has some good investments. Here is one, for instance: One mile from majket. Stone road; 80 acres. Black absolutely level lam}. All outside fences wire. Big 9 room house. First class barn. All kinds of good outhouses. Value of buildings conservatively $3600.00 Seventy acres thoroughly tiled’.
